Recognising excellence among private equity fund managers and service providers in Europe
ABOUT
For more than a decade, Private Equity Wire has been recognising excellence in the fields of fundraising, portfolio performance, and service provision.
This year, we're bringing all our European awards together into one, stellar evening, where we will celebrate all those driving innovation, transformation and growth across the private markets landscape.
Don't miss out on our only European awards of the year!
An allocator board, peer surveys, editorial expertise, and data analysis go into selecting our winners, helping us build one of the industry’s most influential awards programmes.
On the night, which follows our flagship Private Capital European Summit 2025, we're expecting an exclusive gathering of C-suite leaders from the GP, LP, and service provider communities.
For Investors
Find out which GPs are outperforming across a range of AUM brackets, investment strategies and geographies. Learn who’s serving them most effectively.
For Managers
Put yourself on the radar of keen investors and meet service providers that can help your business grow and scale up effectively.
For Service Providers
Your chance to shine in front of the entire investor and manager community, while also tracking which firms and strategies are on the up.

SERVICE PROVIDER CATEGORIES
Please provide a brief overview of your business (up to 100 words) and a compelling case in 250 words or fewer on why your service deserves an award for the period from January 2024 to December 2024.
You may also include a client testimonial to support your entry—this is optional but encouraged. Additionally, there’s an option to upload any supporting documents that might strengthen your submission. The below categories are open to companies who serve European clients or are based in Europe.
Our judging panel will select the finalists. These will go to a public vote, and the top-voted providers will be used to support the decision of the judging panel. The judging panel's decision is final.
Please note that these awards are FREE to enter.
*Deadline to submit your entries is 20th December 2024*
